Miu Miu Autumn/Winter Ad Campaign 2010

Thoughts?
I'm a little bit disappointed. The advert just doesn't live up to my expectations of the brand and it's amazing clothes. Miu Miu is my absolute favourite brand at the moment so if anyone would love this it would be me but I just think that they could have done a lot more with this concept of a photo booth and those gorgeous models.

Let me know what you think!

Miu Miu SS 2010 collection

Ah the Miu Miu 2010 Spring Sumer collecion.

I will just begin by saying I loved it; it was without a doubt one of my favourite SS looks.

Miuccia Prada managed to combine innocence and raunchiness seamlessly as little cats, dogs and swallows leapt across her designs alongside nude female prints.
It was a creative mix of the sweet and the sexy with cut out panelling used against high neck lines with areoplane pointed collars. The long school girl plaits and playful chunky heels were perfect too and I love the ad campaign for the collection.

Keira Knightley looking stunning in one of the Miu Miu looks, complete with Miu Miu shoes and a Chanel bag. God, I would love to raid her wardrobe.

Adorable photos of cute kids in pretty clothes

Basically an image dump (as promised in my post with the photos of the kids in Burberry trench coats here) of photos of fashionable children too coo over.
I am in series need of cheering up.
I am home alone, ill and I need to revise for my mocks even though all I want to do is curl up in bed and watch another episode of Glee.
Anyhoo these cuties make me smile :)

Shot by The Sartorialist. And the one above is his daughter Claudia who you have to admit has an awesome pose going on.

Phillip Lims collection for children. I would have an even bigger smile than that girl if I was only 4 and still wearing designer clothes though.

Stella McCartney's kids collection for Gap. I love this ad campaign.
I saw these photos and seriously considered if I could fit into that little pink tutu the girl in the picture above is wearing.

Anyway hope you are all having a better Thursday than me, don't forget its Friday tomorrow!

New Chanel Perfume Advert!

What a co-incidence, the same day I do a whole post about perfume adverts a brand new Chanel one comes along...

Apparantly it was released today because Coco Chanel had superstitions with the number 5 (hence the name of the perfume) so the advert has been released today on the fifth of the fifth, for her lucky number 5.

The new commercial, called "Train de Nuit” stars Audrey Tautou, the actress from Amelie who has replaced Nicole Kidman as the face of the fragrance.

It is another amazing Chanel No.5 advert and I think Tautou is the perfect face of Chanel as she resembles Coco a little herself and is playing her in an up and coming film.

“A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future"- Coco Chanel

I just love perfume ads.
As my media studies teacher would say “The brands use the soft sell technique to appeal to their target audience and even though they are primarily promoting the product they are also promoting a lifestyle that the viewer aspires to have.”
In my case that is so true.
I mean who doesn’t want to be whisked up into the air by helium balloons in Paris, like in the Miss Dior Cherie ad?
Who doesn’t want to stroll around in that divine red dress like Keira Knightley in the Coco Mademoiselle Ad?
Who doesn’t want to hack off their hair and clothes off a la Agy Deyn in the Jean Paul Gaultier Madame commercial?
And more importantly who doesn’t want to hair flip to the sound of CSS with Clemence Poesy in the Chloe advert?
Don’t even get me started on making out with Rodrigo Santoro like Nicole Kidman did in the masterpiece of an advert for Chanel No. 5.

Take a look at my top 5 perfume commercials on YouTube:

1. Miss Dior Cherie

2. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

3. Jean Paul Gaultier

4. Chloe Fragrance

5. Chanel No. 5
